Two years ago I built a wood burning oven to cook mostly pizzas. I recently started to cook other stuff like Salmon, Steak and pork. My first cook was a 2inch thick cut Porterhouse. I started my fire and heated up some cast iron, got the oven up to 650ºf then let temp drop to 600ºF. Seasoned the steak with some Salt and Pepper place in the cast iron for 2 minutes per side. After letting it rest the steak was a perfect Med Rare to rare.
I have also been roasting root vegetables like Beets, Sweet potatoes all around 600ºf. It's my new favorite way to cook High and fast. Still Love Low and Slow! Check out some of the picts.
